    New Gaming Router?

    I thought certain Tomato builds were already running on the RT-N66U? I remember seeing a ddwrt build floating around too.

    H55N-USB3

    I have problems with RAM on this board too, G-Skill F3-12800CL7. I think I mentioned it a few pages ago or possibly in another thread. If I have the RAM set to anything but auto in the BIOS flash video is pretty much certainly gonna cause a crash/hard lock, clicking full screen is pretty much a...

    Newly installed Sapphire 6870 = HOT?

    It's very noticeable in WoW, it also affects Starcraft 2. It's present in 10.10, plus the 'a' and 'c' hotfixes. I'm not using MLAA.

    Newly installed Sapphire 6870 = HOT?

    I've had the Sapphire 6870 for 6 days and no heat problems, don't forget to enable ATi Overdrive to enable manual fan control, even though you aren't changing clock speeds. When on 100% it's insanely loud. A problem I've been having is that my windows cursor is very pale since installing the...

    H55N-USB3

    Anyone else with this board got an "other device" left over in the device manager? I've installed the chipset and all other drivers from Gigabyte's product page but it's still there and windows update finds no drivers for it. It's listed as: PCI Simple Communications Controller Ids...

    What HSF for Zotac H55ITX-C-E/Gigabyte GA-H55N-USB3?

    Got my GA-H55N-USB3 today and hoped to continue using my Xigmatek Cobra, only the backplate doesn't sit well thanks to how busy the back of the board is. I was just about to go around town hoping to find some nylon/foam washers and nuts with a 2.5mm thread when I decided to check my old zalman...

    NZXT’s new VULCAN Micro ATX gaming case

    Powercolor 5830, about 10" long. Both water tubes won't stretch over the card but as you can see one can just go behind the HDD cage.

    NZXT’s new VULCAN Micro ATX gaming case

    Couldn't find them anywhere here in the UK, so I ended up replacing all the included fans with some black and white ones. Xigmatek do some orange glow fans which would probably look good in this case. I decided to go this route only with a CoolIT eco and push/pull on the radiator, i5 750...

    Opening a SNES without the special screwdriver?

    I had to open a SNES a few years ago but didn't have the bit, so I melted the end of a biro and let it set over the screw, then you can just unscrew it. This is a biro in case it's not a universal term...

    Whtie Antec 180p Micro htpc build - PICS

    On low it's pretty much silent but still pushes tonnes of air, on medium and high it produces a very low hum so it's not as annoying as smaller fans, I've never needed to use those settings though.

    Need suggestions for new 4850 heatsink

    I had one, it cooled well and was pretty quiet, but after a few weeks the fan bacame noisy all of a sudden, not sure if that's a common problem though.

    New Build Antec Mini P180 suggestions?

    Nope, but if my DVD drive was any longer I would have since it's touching the fan, so if yours is too long you'll have to put it in one of the bottom bays. Yep, pretty much any will fit providing you remove the bottom HDD rack. But you lose 3 drive bays doing that, leaving you with 2.

    New Build Antec Mini P180 suggestions?

    Gigabyte GA-G31M-S2L(Went with the cheapest I could find since ill just be selling it on soon when Nehalem arrives) Core2Duo E8200 @ 3.2Ghz 2GB 6400 OCZ HD4850 with the Thermalright HR-03 GT cooler And I'm not sure about the CNPS9700, this is the one I had and there are some detailed...

    New Build Antec Mini P180 suggestions?

    I was in the same boat a few days ago since the Zalman sink I had was touching the rear fan, which I wasn't happy with. I was considering the Mini Ninja too, but ended up getting the Thermalright Ultra-90 since it was on sale, didn't need to install a fan on it since the fan on my gpu sink...

    Anyone who got free fans with their Antec case recently...

    I just got a Mini P180 and noticed the rear fan wasn't spinning on the low setting when I opened up the case, I touched the blades and it started up. I never got any free fans though...

    AKASA Vortexx NEO VGA cooler...

    I have one, but I'n in the UK. Here's a list of a lot of shops who are selling it. Your best bet is probably ebay, this guy is shipping worldwide.

    CAT 8.7 and flashing textures in TF2?

    I had the stutter issue on Vista using the 8.6 Hotfix drivers, now I'm back on XP with 8.7 and the problem seems to have gone. However I've been getting some weird pattern on the tracks in Trackmania since getting my 4850.

    4870 Aftermarket Cooling Options

    Just got around to checking, getting about 56°c under load. Not sure how that compares to others, I'm using a micro ATX case so it gets pretty warm in there.

    4870 Aftermarket Cooling Options

    Since no one knew the answer to my question about the Thermalright V2 on the previous page, I went ahead and got an Akasa Vortexx Neo for my 4850: Temps dropped from 78°c to 44°c idle, so I'm happy. Much quieter than the stock cooler.

    My 4850 freezes in UT3..

    Sorry you weren't clear, does this mean you installed cat 8.6 and then the hot fix after? Cause you only need one or the other.

    4870 Aftermarket Cooling Options

    Does anyone know if the Thermalright V2 can be installed rotated 90º either way, as you can see I'm short for space above the card so I think the heat pipes would probably get in the way.

    X800 Pro Problem

    Both motherboards are AGP(MSI K9MM-V), also I have not overclocked anything, that overclocking message was a result of merely taking out the X800 after getting the error about the power cable.

    X800 Pro Problem

    I recently installed a Radeon x800 in an old socket A motherboard and it ran fine with the 400W power supply I was using. Wanting some more fps in Team Fortress 2 I moved it to a socket AM2 using the same power supply and randomly the screen would go black, sometimes causing a reboot, other...

    Buffalo router owners with DD-WRT

    I've got the same router, but I installed Tomato rather than DD-WRT, which came with a .bat file and quite a specific guide regarding IP addresses to make things much easier. So you could edit the script and change the firmware target file, or install Tomato to see if you like it, if not you...

    Need Help With .iso

    I think Halo also uses Safedisk, so enable Safedisk emulation by right clicking the daemon tools systray icon > Emulation > Safedisk. If the other suggestions in here don't work that is.

    Mini Review: Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz

    The mini games were outsourced to some small European developer I believe, which explains why most are crap, apart from that FPS game mentioned earlier.

    It would be nice, most people have no idea what this game is since all Nintendo did was put up a video on their press site at e3. Watch some here.

    Wii capable of 8 player mario kart?

    No, online and LAN functions in Gamecube games won't work on Wii unfortunately. So no PSO for you.(Unless it works with the USB ethernet adapter, we'll have to wait till they're more widespread to find out) Maybe the Wii edition of Mario Kart will support wireless LAN, a few Wii games at a...

    PSP vs. DS: Homebrew

    For the sheer amount of stuff available the PSP obviosly wins, however I prefer the DS since music is my thing. Currently in love with Nitrotracker, messing about with Amiga music, also DSMIDIWiFi(watch the vid), the touch screen wins as a midi controller.

    Will WoW work on Vista?

    I ran it in Vista from my XP partition just to test it the other day, worked fine. The framerate was a little worse than usual(just a few frames), and there was more frame droppage than usual when going to a new area or from indoors to out, but that's probably down to beta video drivers.

    what's frantic mode in MKDD?

    You're talking about Double Dash right? Those settings refer to the item box frequency iirc, I think it might also change the chance of getting more powerful items. It also only has any affect when in multiplayer.

    Wii Parade, how does it work?

    If you wan't your Mii's to travel to other Wii's then go into your parade and turn 'travel' on, then Mii's that are set to mingle will go to friends, and friends of friends on their own. There are currently 240 Mii's in my parade. I think they also appear in the crowds in Wii Sports. It's a...

    Bwii(Battalion Wars 2) is out soon, Q1 as far as I know. It features online battles and co-op play I believe. There are also rumblings of a few announcements in the coming weeks.
